Ack, sorry!! I had a feeling I was messing up the names. I should have gone and checked.
But how can they look at each other when they are all by themselves??All right, I'm going to gripe about the All By Myself. For an ice dance program? For the entire ice dance program? They never look at each other. The relationship never develops or changes at any point. Just because a team is not in a romantic relationship on the ice doesn't mean there should be no relationship. The elements are smooth & there's a section there with some interesting movement. I generally like programs that feel whole and the music does build there in the last section. But unless there's a way to show that they've come together and are not all by themselves, I don't think it works for me. I mean, things could get better & then get worse. But something. It's not like there's enough original movement for it to work as a piece of modern art.
Hence, this is a problematic selection.But how can they look at each other when they are all by themselves??

Diana Davis is about as swanlike as I am.

Totally agree with these two assessments!Diana Davis is about as swanlike as I am.
ETA: Bashynska/Beaumont's R&J is so smooth and gorgeous. Love that opening pose. And what a great mix of Rota and Prokofiev. If you're gonna go warhorse, that's how you do it.
I don't see any harm in waiting until they're more polished. Bashynska/Beaumont have a neat opening pose and some nice, smooth skating, but noticeably tired toward the end. Pate/Bye had an energetic portrayal with typical Igor-style unfinished lines. I didn't watch the faux Georgians.I'm not sure I can convince myself to watch Romeo & Juliet, Polovtsian Dances, and Swan Lake.
Is this worth it?

No sequel, just POTO. Thank goodness. I still think ALW should have been run out of town on a rail for writing that horrendous attempt at a sequel.PedChen - POTO and it's sequel? I'm not a POTO aficionado so I'll leave it to others to fully identify the music. Fine for what it is, but they aren't bringing anything new to the ice dance rink here. Should be enough for at least 1 JGP.
Based on his IG story his hand got sliced up by a blade, stitches needed.Zingas/Kolesnik are listed as WD.
Well that's awful. Hope he has quick and good healing.Based on his IG story his hand got sliced up by a blade, stitches needed.
